A US judge has sentenced a former state department official to life in prison without parole for his role in a 30-year conspiracy to provide classified data to Cuba, officials said.

Seventy-three-year-old Walter Kendall Myers and his wife, Gwendolyn, 72, who worked at a bank, were sentenced on Friday under a plea deal in which they admitted spying for the Communist-led government.

He received life, she received six years. Basically, since they are both in their 70s, this means free medical care for the remainder of their years.

The husband told the judge the couple acted not for money or because they were anti-American, but because of their beliefs.

"Our overriding objective was to help the Cuban people defend their revolution," he said.

They are of the worst kind of spies, spies with a philosophy that perform their deeds for free. Both should have been promptly executed for treason once found guilty of doing this and I am, in most cases, against the death penalty.


Oh, here is the Associated Press article:

Is this sarcasm?
